XR (extended reality)
XR is a developing technology in diverse fields. From education, research, medical education to defence is using XR. What are the possibilities, opportunities, and applications of extended reality for education and research?
Case studies XR
Within XR, there are many practical examples of new ways of studying. In this way, students are further helped in practising practicals and real-life cases.
At Utrecht University, law students emerge from a classroom in their gowns. They practise pleading in a virtual environment. This way, they can practice their speaking skills in a realistic way and learn from each other. Their first reaction; 'what a cool experience!'
Students learn how to deal with fire with VR
Students from the Aviation Services course at Deltion College practise how to deal with a fire in an aircraft in a VR module.
Designing the ideal campus
In Mercator City, RUG Spatial Sciences students design their ideal Zernike Campus. Roads can be modified, buildings removed or added and social safety improved, without a spa going to ground.
Practising motivational interviewing with VR
The HAN has a VR module that allows students on care and social work courses to practise motivational interviewing.
Immersive rooms in het onderwijs
Immersive rooms zijn in opkomst in het Nederlandse onderwijs. Een aantal instellingen heeft al interessante en waardevolle ervaringen opgedaan met de inzet van immersive rooms. SURF organiseerde peer visits bij vier verschillende instellingen, waarbij deelnemers een immersive room konden ervaren. De kennis en ervaring die is opgedaan delen we op de themawebsite hieronder.
VR maakt voorbereiden en oefenen van practicum levensecht
Studenten vinden chemiepractica vaak spannend. Er kan veel misgaan, met behoorlijk hoge kosten en veiligheidsrisico’s als gevolg. De WUR ontwikkelde samen met de RUG een virtueel chemiepracticum om studenten eerst virtueel te laten oefenen met een virtual reality bril ter voorbereiding op fysieke practica.
